You know I didn't want to answer with a wall of text because some things are obvious but I have to elaborate obvious things apparently: why are you trying to normalize outliers as the rule of the society? Yeah, some people grow up old alone. Some learn to cope with it, some are very sad. Probably most are sad but they can't do anything about it. You just see them from time to time with their cat +wine or the male version with that forest dude.
Now, tell me, can you make a healthy, well functioning society with people like those? Let's say, making them 30-40% of the society would kill the society. The fact that you sit there behind the screen and type something is thanks to a mother and dad who brought you to this world and invested time+money to raise you. Would they be able to do that in a non functioning society?
Of course, there will always be people who lose on the dating market or aren't interested at some point anymore but that shouldn't be something a society should thrive for.
Once again, I ask you to go back to your cellar and leave this thread alone.
The parallel process seems to be lost on you. You're so resistant to views outside your own, are set on moving forward with your own decision, and are unlikely to engage in change as a result of people outright challenging you (although, to be fair, you did make a thread seeking perspectives). One would think this would give you pause to reflect on the nature of change; however, you seem to think that the very strategy that so clearly doesn't work for you would then work for your sister.
Why you would ask for different perspectives only to tell those who express a view different than your own to "go back to their cellars" is beyond me.
